Hogwarts Legacy (PS4)

The open-world exploration hooked me instantly, especially flying around the castle grounds on a broom. I've sunk about 20 hours in and still keep finding new side quests to chase, which is exactly what I wanted from an action RPG.

Exploring the castle and finding hidden passages feels like I’m living my own Harry Potter story. The spell-casting in combat is smooth and satisfying, especially when you chain together combos.

I'm about 10 hours in and the spell combat feels incredibly fluid, with combos that actually reward quick thinking. The way the castle opens up as you learn new spells makes exploration feel meaningful.
